Excellent Book
Michael Shaara wrote the book, The Killer Angels. From that book they made the move Gettysburg. Good movie, great book.
I believe Michael is dead now. An any rate, his son Jeff has written a book similar in style called Rise to Rebellion. If your interested in the details of why and how things evolved into a war this is excellent. It covers the period 1770 to 1776 and really turns people like Sam and John Adams, Ben Franklin, Gen. Thomas Gage etc. into real people. I'd recomend it to anyone.
Stay healthy,
Andy
